Colette is the Creative Director of her namesake global luxury accessories brand with a licensing partner in Japan. After over 30 years building her brand throughout Asia and Europe, in the finest retail stores, she launched "Colette on Brand" to help consumer-facing companies drive growth through elevated, best-selling accessory product lines. In 1987 the Colette Malouf brand was quickly established with an innovative product that sold 100,000 units in her first year, hitting 1 million in revenue and putting her on the international fashion map. A trailblazer, she created a successful global brand by bringing the art of fine jewelry to the category of hair accessories, creating the first luxury brand in that sector and earning a track record of design innovation with iconic timeless best sellers. Born in New York City of Lebanese heritage, her family were pioneers and entrepreneurs that supported Colette as she continued the tradition. As a mentor to young entrepreneurs, her mission is to empower female leaders on a global scale, for personal growth and financial independence.
